Welcome bonus for new players
Coldbet takes bets on sports and esports events worldwide: more than 30 bet types (handicaps, totals, correct score, first goalscorer and more) across upwards of 5,000 events a day, of which over 3,000 are available in-play.
The line isn't just football โ though, as usual, it leads by number of events. Here are the main sports and what's worth watching for in each.
| Sport | What to check |
|---|---|
| โฝ Football | The widest market spread โ from match result to handicaps, totals and individual player markets. |
| ๐ Basketball | Fixtures run almost round the clock across time zones โ handy for in-play betting whenever you're online. |
| ๐พ Tennis | Settlement is often calculated per game and per set separately, giving more bet types within a single match. |
| ๐ Ice Hockey | The score can turn in seconds โ a popular sport for in-play betting during a period. |
| ๐ฎ Esports | Tournament formats and settlement rules vary by title โ check the specific game's rules before betting. |
Three basic bet types show up in any sportsbook, Coldbet included โ and the difference matters both for how your winnings are calculated and for how each type counts toward wagering the sports welcome bonus.
Pre-match betting covers events that haven't started yet; prices are set in advance and can move before kick-off. In-play betting is accepted once an event is under way โ prices update in real time as the match develops. Terms for accepting bets, including prices and limits, can change after each bet, but the terms of a bet you've already placed stay fixed.
If you have an issue with a settled bet, queries need to be raised within 10 days, quoting your account number, the event, the stake and the price โ settlement is based on the official result announced by the event organisers. For Cyber-Live events (excluding esports), settlement queries are accepted within 72 hours of the game finishing.
Active sports bettors get a weekly cashback โ 0.3% of last week's staked turnover, up to โฌ1,000. Full terms are on the bonuses page.
The pre-match line, the Live section and the bet calculator all work in a mobile browser exactly as they do on desktop โ the interface adapts to your screen, and the slip is built the same way. There's no confirmed dedicated app on the App Store or Google Play at the time of writing; the app's status is covered in detail on the app page. For in-play betting on mobile, a stable connection matters more than it does for pre-match bets โ in-play prices update constantly, and a lag can mean a bet doesn't go through at the price you saw.
The in-play format lets you place several bets in a short window, so it's especially worth deciding in advance how much you're prepared to spend on a session, and not raising a stake to make up for a previous result. Sports betting is only available to players of legal age, and an event's outcome is always uncertain until it finishes.
RegisterCash out lets you lock in part of a profit or limit a loss before an event finishes. We didn't find separate confirmation of this feature on Coldbet for this review โ check availability directly on your bet slip.
A minimum stake isn't set out in the published terms we checked โ the current minimum is shown directly on the bet slip when you place a bet.
Yes: new players get a 100% welcome bonus on their first deposit (up to โฌ100), and active bettors get a weekly 0.3% cashback on their staked turnover. Full terms are on the bonuses page.
In a multiple, every selection on the slip needs to win for the whole bet to pay out. In a system, the slip is split into several multiples, so you can get a partial payout even if not every selection comes in โ but the overall price is usually lower than one big multiple on the same events.
Yes, the Live section works fully in a mobile browser with no app install needed โ a stable internet connection matters for it to work smoothly.
